“Imaginary Cities” is a voyage through the art and imagination of Fernando Muñoz, experimenting with different mediums such as acrylics, watercolors, printmaking, and drawings. Imaginary Cities takes you on an exploration of Fernando’s most recurrent themes like solitude, melancholy, and the search for belonging.

“Imaginary Cities” is inspired by a poem by the Chilean poet, Nicanor Parra, “El hombre imaginario / The Imaginary Man.” 

The Imaginary Man by Nicanor Parra
The imaginary man
lives in an imaginary mansion
surrounded by imaginary trees
on the banks of an imaginary river
On the imaginary walls
imaginary old paintings hang
imaginary irreparable cracks
that represent imaginary events
occurring in imaginary worlds
in imaginary times and places [...]
